Blood Donor Death Triggers Halt on Blood Exports
In Bogota authorities order a halt to private blood clinics after a 22 year old donor died from anemia after selling blood to a clinic three times in under three weeks. Clinics pay about 2.50 per pint and export plasma to Europe and the United States for around 20 per pint. The health ministry vows strict new rules and inspections while investigating alleged blood smuggling and lax donor checks. The move aims to protect donors and ensure safe blood supply amid calls for a six month wait between donations.
